Athletics 3, Red Sox 0  (7-2)

Babe Ruth threw seven shutout innings to start this one but he was tagged for three runs in the eighth as the Red Sox lost their second game of the season.  It was their first road game and Ruth gave up just five hits, unfortunately one of them was a three run homer by George Burns.  He walked three and struck out one.

The Red Sox were held to just six hits in the contest.  Harry Hooper was a perfect three for three with a double and he also stole two bases.

Alliance Tickets

See if another title will be won by purchasing Green Bay Packers Tickets for the season. One of the model franchises is in Foxboro as New England Patriots Tickets are tough to get. The NFC East is pretty competitive so get New York Giants Tickets to see the rivalries. With a new identity New York Jets Tickets are great for the new stadium.
